Dragon's Eye Recordngs is pleased to present the release of Trastevere, a special 5 minute business card CD-R by Yann Novak. This release has been produced as part of Greg Lundgren's newest venture at his bar The Hideout, The Robotic Art Dispenser. The Robotic Art Dispenser will house editioned works by 35 local artists and will be Lundgrend's third experiment in automated art distribution. Trastevere contains the first field recordings that Novak made while he was in Rome in 2006. It offers a unique insight into the foundation of his way of working and is particularly sentimental not only because it was his first, but also because it was the only recording that survived in a harddrive crash.
Dragon's Eye Recordings is pleased to announce the release of Pairings, the first full length collaboration between Marc Manning (Heavy Lids) and Yann Novak. Pairings is an exploration into a now standard formula, a traditional instrument processed by laptop. Novak and Manning choose to use the formula to explore their often similar emotional states resulting in six improvisations divided into pairs by instrument. The album moves gently through melancholic drones and ambient washes, ending in a soft flurry of fractured melodies. Pairings showcases the tender relationships between songs, instruments and musicians.
"The seven untitled tracks here have a remarkable cumulative impact, the contrast between their tiny, crystalline details and the vastness of the landscape becoming ever more telling... The CD comes with a second disc of remixes... denser and more layered than the source material, they're an excellent counterpoint which builds to a bracing climax with Drouin's inexorably rising "The Walk Out"."
